Message: [QUOTE="petran79, post: 415111, member: 365300"] The PC of course is not meant for the kids, as no sane parents nowadays would give their kids an PC to have in their own room and play online games behind closed doors. During high school age maybe. Gone are the days of 8 and 16bit offline consoles. I mean the PC usually found on a parents desks for office work, where kids are allowed to play sometimes, supervised of course. Nowadays no need to be rich to have such a PC, usually 500-600 usd range, desktop mostly. Majority of families have a toaster PC for general use (internet, word, excel, taxes etc) with a low end AMD or Nvidia card or Intel integrated. The difference is that now those cheap PCs have SSD drives and 8-16 GB RAM, so they can at least load the games decently at HD. On the contrary, parents who buy their offspring a PS5 or Switch to own exclusively, are the ones with decent income. Also on PC it is much easier to transfer game ownership. Eg I shared the Minecraft password with my nephew as I hardly play the game. Also installed a recent patch of PES 2021 (Smokepatch) so he can play his favourite soccer teams in HD with all players and stadiums. No need to buy the new Fifa game. This saved a ton of money.
